I just had my baby and remember tracking this closely. My cycle was 30 days, and I conceived around day 15 after my period started. Try tracking your cervical mucus or use an app, it really helps to pinpoint the day.

For me, the bump started showing around the 5th month. Instead of buying expensive maternity clothes early, I just wore my husband's loose t-shirts and loose kurtas.

Please don't worry too much. Sometimes minor infections or hormonal drops cause pain, so just take it easy and speak to your doctor if it persists.

Oh sweetie, I totally understand the anxiety you are feeling right now. Yes, mild period-like cramps can happen when the little one is nesting inside. Just rest and listen to your body, dear.

Pasta is totally fine, just make sure any cheese you use is pasteurized. Homemade is always best because outside food might have too much sodium or stale ingredients. Have it in moderation and enjoy.
